"Captain's Log, Stardate 54704.5. It's been four days since my ultimatum to the young Q, and he appears to be making progress. His instructors inform me that he's taking on his assignments with new determination, and he's made a concerted effort to be more courteous to the crew. It's hard to believe this is the same brazen young man who came aboard a few days ago."

"Captain's Log, Stardate 54732.3. It's been three weeks since we received Starfleet's instructions in the last data stream and we're finally ready to begin Operation Watson. We're all holding our breath.

"Captain's Log, Stardate 54748.6. A Federationarbitrator has been assigned to determine whether The Doctor has the right to control his artistic creation. Because of our limited comm time with Earth, the arguments should take about three days."

"Captain's Log, Stardate 54912.4. LieutenantTorres has restored our warp drive in less than a week. The Doctor's dignity, however, might take a little longer. He hasn't left sickbay once since he returned to the ship."

"Captain's Log, Stardate 55836.2. Kes has remained in temporal synch with us for two days now, but since we don't know when she may jump again, we can't afford to rest until we've found some way to help her."
